Laurence Olivier Legendary Actor clipped signature with photo 6×4. AFTAL COA

Laurence Olivier – Legendary Actor clipped signature with photo 6×4. Along with his contemporaries Ralph Richardson and John Gielgud, Olivier was one of a trio of male actors who dominated the British stage of the mid-20th century. For his work in films, Olivier received four Academy Awards: an honorary award for Henry V (1947), a Best Actor award and one as producer for Hamlet (1948), and a second honorary award in 1979 to recognise his lifetime of contribution to the art of film. He was nominated for nine other acting Oscars and one each for production and direction. The American actor William Redfield had the following view: Ironically enough, Laurence Olivier is less gifted than Marlon Brando. He is even less gifted than Richard Burton, Paul Scofield, Ralph Richardson and John Gielgud. But he is still the definitive actor of the twentieth century. Because he wanted to be. His achievements are due to dedication, scholarship, practice, determination and courage. He is the bravest actor of our time.
